- When the brain is given a dose of fentanyl, it raises the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that trigger a state of euphoria and relaxation which is why it is sometimes abused to get high.
Adolescents - BradleyAs a parent or guardian the thought of enrolling your child into a drug rehabilitation center is often an overwhelming task. Sadly, just like adults, adolescents become addicted to drugs and alcohol and need professional treatment in order to stop using. Due to their young age it is not an option for them to attend a traditional drug rehab. Many specialized and age appropriate drug rehab programs have been created to focus on adolescents and their specific needs pertaining to drug addiction treatment. Treatment professionals who are experienced in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your adolescent child and guide them through their recovery process.
